Ouch. No easy solution yet; this problem looks like an issue for a new thread.

Developers of other java apps are noting a new conflict with the QuickTime 7.0.4 Update and 10.3.9, and the solutions to the previous problem don't work this time. I haven't found a link to a practical fix so far.

Quicktime 7.0.4 kills Java application

Here's the link to an uninstaller Quicktime 701 Reinstaller for Quicktime 7.0.4

On the Final Cut Pro forum, the attitude is always a wait & see approach, re: updating QuickTime. Better to wait & see whether it's safe to update. It's not uncommon for updates of QT to have some kind of bug.

This QT upgrade appears to be the problem! I have just returned to QT 7.01 from 7.04 and lo and behold my limewire is back! Now seems to be working fine, these Apple upgrades should come with a health warning! How are novice users meant to know the implications of these upgrades?

Thanks for the info.

Thank you! This has been driving me mad since I installed QT 7.0.4 yesterday. I knew it had to be related. Thanks for providing the proof, and a way out.

I delayed installing QT Pro 7.0.4 after reading about all the conflicts, but I have experienced no problems at all after installing it. I did install the newer version, not the initial release.

Do you mean QT 7.0.4 didn't affect LW? Which OS version are you running & which version of LW? Just trying to work out why it didn't affect you. I use 7.0.3 & it hasn't affected LW.

I notice the QT 7.0.1 reinstaller is one of apple's top 10 downlds from their site. lol

I'm using LW 4.10.5 Pro, on OS X 10.4.4.
As I stated in my lasy post, I installed the corrected release of QT Pro , not the initial release.
Seems there was a problem with the initial release, but it was fixed after a few days. and kept the same version #.

hey all,

im also using 10.4.4 on new intel core duo.
newest update of limewire was working fine untill yesterday when it started shutting down at start up, it holds untill the "upgrade to pro" pop up, but when i click any of the options it shuts down. its strange though because i didn't perform any upgrade and it was working fine with quicktime 7.0.4

I tried lime wire 4.10.5,6,7,8 all the same...

any ideas? =)

Perhaps you could tell us how you managed to use 4.10.6,7, and 8, when the newest release is 4.10.5.

on another note, i downloaded the new mac 10.4.5 and the problem has been resolved!

smiles to all
